while still in liberia and brantley had a drug transfusion from a survivor he treated. and brantley had the same blood type and got two blood transfusions and received an experimental serum, but a different one called tkm ebola and ashoka mukpo is still in the hospital and duncan who died this morning, was given the same drug as mukpo, but after going from serious to critical condition. it is unclear whether any of these drugs actually work. they're all experimental right now. the world health organization says it's hopeful these blood transfusions can provide antibodies to help the antibody system fight off the virus.

and the patient in texas asked he get an experimental drug and unclear why it took so long to get it and may have been too late for him. we also heard dr. kent brantley agreed to give duncan a drug transfusion but dr. brantley said he never heard back from the hospital in texas. they may not have been the same drug type. we don't know. zmapp, given to the two patients in atlanta was given but the whole tiny supply is gone and not available anymore. several experimental drugs are being tried right now and keep in mind they're all experimental. the work to develop an ebola vaccine is under way at an accelerated pace and could have something early next year. >> let's hope so. some drivers downtown were seeing red today. we'll explain why this traffic jam in d.c. was actually

planned. at&t to pay up millions in a mobile cramming case. were you a victim? i'll tell you how to start the process next. this picture will not be the same as we make our way through
